Scholarships
The Boulé Foundation distributes its funds primarily to educate new generations of black leaders, support others working to protect and advance the civil rights of African Americans and to improve the quality of life for African Americans. The Boulé Foundation meets its objectives in several ways.
On May 14, 2022, Beta Epsilon Boulé of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity awarded three scholarships valued at $2,000 each to graduating high school males in the Guilford County School system. Applications for these scholarships were accepted from college-bound students who attend public and private high schools in Guilford County. Beta Epsilon Boulé has a long-standing history of service to the Greensboro community, and the Foundation supports those young people who exhibit the same commitment to education, excellence, and service. Three students were selected following a rigorous selection and interview process led by Scholarship Chairman, Archon Vincent Schooler. Additional members of the Scholarship Committee included Archons Henry Smith III, Patrick Martin, Sr., Rudy Clark, and Anthony Graham.

Awardees Update
My intended major here at North Carolina State University is Mechanical Engineering. Having received the Beta Epsilon Boule' Scholarship, it has brought me an immense amount of appreciation towards giving back to the community as it has allowed me to explore different endeavors here at NC State without having to worry about the financial aspect of certain activities. It has also provided me with a support system that is always there to guide me through different challenges. I am very appreciative of the Beta Epsilon Boule' Scholarship and will continue to fully take advantage of its benefits.
With Gratitude,

Sincerely,
Kendall Woodhouse
I am a Biology Major with Minors in Chemistry and Exercise & Sports Science. Receiving the Beta Epsilon Boule Scholarship means the world to me. It assures me that there are people who support my educational advancement and allow me to pursue it without financial stress and uncertainty. It also allowed me to meet and learn from black doctors in the field and gain valuable information and life lessons to help prepare me for medical school and the medical profession. I have met role models that have inspired me and will be the people I will credit for influencing my medical pursuance. I am very grateful for the Beta Epsilon Boule Scholarship because it is a program that goes beyond the standard application and senior-year activities but continues to keep in contact with me and aid me with advice and counseling whenever I need it.
Thank you so much for reaching out to me. I greatly appreciate it. And if I need anything, I will definitely reach out.
